The Spring League of American Football (SLAF) was a planned professional American football league. The league was first announced in September 2016 with an expected 10 teams with the first season starting in 2018, but as the starting date approached the league was still looking for an investment of $100 million, thus pushing its first season with eight teams back to 2019 or 2020.

The SLAF executive team consisted of former Madison Square Garden (MSG) executive Michael Lardner and MSG Chief Financial Officer Robert Pollichino. According to the league management, they would like to create a relationship with the NFL as some sort of a developmental minor league.

In October 2018, the league’s trademarks were declared abandoned by the USPTO.
